Abstract: A sensor device includes a printed circuit board, a power line, a first semiconductor device, and a second semiconductor device. The first semiconductor device includes a first inductor, and the second semiconductor device includes a second inductor. Each inductor is formed using an interconnect layer. The power line extends between the two inductors without overlapping the first and second inductor, when viewed from a direction perpendicular to a main surface of the printed circuit board.

Abstract: This invention provides a sensor device at reduced cost. The sensor device includes a printed circuit board, a first terminal, a second terminal, an interconnect line, and a semiconductor device. The first terminal and second terminal are provided on the printed circuit board and coupled to a power line. The second terminal is coupled to a downstream part of the power line with respect to the first terminal. The interconnect line is disposed on the printed circuit board to couple the first terminal and second terminal to each other. In other words, the interconnect line is coupled to the power line in parallel. The semiconductor device is mounted on the printed circuit board and includes an interconnect layer and an inductor formed in the interconnect layer.

Abstract: To suppress the noise caused by an inductor leaks to the outside, and also to be configured such that magnetic field intensity change reaches the inductor. An inductor surrounds an internal circuit in a planar view and also is coupled electrically to the internal circuit. The upper side of the inductor is covered by an upper shield part and the lower side of the inductor is covered by a lower shield part. The upper shield part is formed by the use of a multilayered wiring layer. The upper shield part has plural first openings. The first opening overlaps the inductor in the planar view.
